I'm competing/co-opeting today in Starfriends to celebrate their Kickstarter success, and perhaps to show @plante.bsky.social that he's wrong about goldeneye being a 2-star game. WATCH LIVE AT 4PM PT

The biggest day in esports has arrived. Q-UP is out. store.steampowered.com/app/3730790/...

Does this count as Hades cosplay if @ulicon.bsky.social gives me a gift and I act sad about my dad?

I am CRUSHED. Transformers Devastation (PS4) - by Platinum Games who made NieR Automata - was pulled from Steam. Hasbro give it back!

"Quality of Life Improvements" are sometimes a bad idea for your game. Don't round out your interesting edges because you're afraid a player will feel a hard feeling!

This should be the most watched video on the internet this week. Inspiring!

gamedev making too many prototypes at once, Ben Affleck Edition

Looking for a party game that combines social deduction with the pleasant absurdity of rating animals, films, and the weather on a scale of ★ to ★★★★★? And it's just a simple deck of cards? AND it's live on Kickstarter now?!?! Guess what, STARFRIENDS has launched! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bra...

game design is such an embarrassingly human endeavor. you stumble through iterations, lost in the woods like 20 times even tho this happened on your last game. The real magical games somehow feel like… the result of that process. Something was FOUND after the SEARCHING. So cool. Let’s keep doing it

Every young man on his 18th birthday should be gifted a copy of Baby Steps to learn about the real world

Baby Steps has jumped up to maybe my GoTY 🤍 Genius, profound, incredible craft from level design to pacing and story. It hooks you with a simple/deep mechanic and then literally/figuratively takes you places

Baby Steps is genius and somehow truly thrilling in pajamas. OUT NOW by Bennett Foddy, Gabe Cuzzillo, and Maxi Boch! store.steampowered.com/app/1281040/...

BAFTA Emmies Tea Party! It’s an honor to rep videogame creators, build bridges between games & film, and celebrate BAFTA Breakthrough @karriebear.bsky.social! @bafta.org @baftagames.bsky.social

At the Demon Slayer premiere! Incredible to see anime represented in LA’s historic Chinese Theatre

I returned to the Olympic Exclusion Zone to tell you a brand new, horrific story.... Pacific Drive's first story expansion coming soon!!

Hi new Bluesky friends 👋 I’m Teddy - a game designer/director who co-led games like Hyper Light Drifter, Peabody Winner/pop group OFK, and the LA collective Glitch City! I’m working on some new games about action, music, life, fashion… I’ll get to talk about them soonish. For now, I’ve got fries.

There's a thread in Fast & Furious 9 in which Tyrese theorizes that perhaps they've survived all of their adventures because they are, in fact, invincible. This could have been incredible… 🧵

Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight. I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open: emmkid.info

Mon Mothma looks cooler and cooler with each Andor episode. Unquestionably Most Stylish Star Wars Character: 2025 Edition

Replaying NieR Automata (it rulez), and I wonder if Platinum had to scope down somehow to be this thorough and beautifully holistic. You don’t just do THIS MUCH in your creative box without shrinking the box

Evangelion Wind Symphony @ The Dolby Theatre LA! Something about hearing Yoko Takahashi sing Fly Me To The Moon in the same theatre that hosts the Oscars warms my heart

Great speedrun of our game Hyper Light Drifter @ PAX by @avarietypack.bsky.social! Makes me nostalgic for the week we released, when the speedrun community started finding exploits 🥲 I didn’t patch out wall walking because I love speedrunners 🤍

fucked around @ the anime con

I’ve been getting that “it’s time for a Mario Kart slumber party” feeling a lot lately

hey y’all I’m being told we changed the world with Hyper Light Drifter. It’s in a book now it’s fact 👀

The METEOR #Famicase exhibit, Tokyo -> LA!! Dozens of fictional Famicom cart designs by artists including @takada.works

Hey I just saw the Digimon movie for the first time and I’m ready to talk about it now

Saw The Fantastic Four! It has gorgeous production design and I love Pedro Pascal and that’s the end of this review.

to fix the button naming confusion, everyone in gamedev must now hold a controller at all times and just point

the X button is cursed and gamedevs need to deal with it 🧵

Lady Gaga at The Forum in LA wow

The Shinra boys are back in town!

My Japan Haul: - Mother Hobonichi tote - official Shinra glass - Porco Rosso leather strap - Famicom mug - @chuhailabs.com patch - plastic cups gifted to me by the manager at Gaburi Chicken my #1 chicken spot in LA/Tokyo 🥲

Once every few years, I find a box copy of Hyper Light Drifter - the game WE MADE - just sitting on a shelf in a Japanese game store, and it still makes me VERY EMOTIONAL & grateful!!!

Finally checked out Shin Okubo (Tokyo’s Koreatown) FOR EINSPANNERS - an Austrian drink but lately Korean cafes love to make a wild one (w @karriebear.bsky.social)

Saitama Railway Museum in Tokyo 10/10

Sam, this is Deadman. You've probably noticed those particle waveforms coming at you from all directions. That's light, on the so-called visible spectrum. Not very useful on its own, but when human eyes feed this data to the brain, it can reveal handy information about your immediate surroundings.

having a pretty good time with death stranding 2. its pretty fun to play a big ass expensive Celebrities Game that isn't like deeply ashamed of still being a game, and in fact put everything it has to say that is interesting or weird or thoughtful into the game part

I’m LOVING Shotgun King’s deck build + enemy build card system. It’s so good I’m mad at u @punkcake.club

Japan’s Choco Mint season is OP

I toured the new Square Enix Tokyo studio w @karriebear.bsky.social thanks to our friend whom I admire @toki0124.bsky.social - Final Fantasy IV Lead Designer, Director of Live A Live, Parasite Eve, Chrono Trigger & more Magical to walk the halls of a studio that has inspired my games over and over!

Every time I’m in Japan I’ve gotta try hot new conbini snacks. Tonight: - protein yogurt hell yea - watermelon booze - whole wheat Koalas! - stroopwafel “Ginza waffle” lol
